How Layout Foundry handles planner data
Planner inputs are processed in your browser and are not sent to Layout Foundry. You can use every planner without creating an account.
Measurements stay in your browser
Measurements and part lists remain in browser memory while you work. Layout Foundry does not receive or store the measurements entered into a planner.
Design files stay in your browser
The gang sheet builder reads PNG and JPG files in your browser. The images, the sizes worked out from them and the print files it makes are not uploaded to Layout Foundry or sent to any printer. Comparing printer prices uses price data that is already part of the page, so no request is made with your designs or sizes.
Saved plans stay on the current device
A plan is stored in local browser storage only when you choose to save it. It remains on that device until you delete it or clear the site data, and it is not uploaded or synced to another browser.
A saved gang sheet layout keeps the settings, design file names, sizes and number of copies. It does not keep the images.
The site does not use tracking scripts
Layout Foundry does not use analytics scripts, advertising trackers, cookies, contact forms or sales profiles. The public pages include no third-party client code.
Hosting requests are separate from planner inputs
Vercel and its network providers receive the ordinary request information needed to deliver and protect the public site, such as an IP address and request details. Layout Foundry relies on its legitimate interests in making this non-commercial service available and keeping it secure. The application does not add planner measurements or saved-plan contents to those requests, and Layout Foundry does not keep its own request logs.
Vercel describes its service-generated data and international-transfer safeguards in its privacy notice. Where they apply to the account plan and data involved, Vercel's published data-processing terms also describe subprocessors and UK transfer mechanisms. Provider retention is governed by the applicable Vercel service settings and terms.
Apps for shops
Layout Foundry Gang Sheets and Layout Foundry Quantities are free apps that a shop adds to its own Shopify store. The shop chooses to use them, and the shop's own privacy notice covers its customers. This section describes what each app receives. Both apps run on Cloudflare: Workers, a D1 database and R2 file storage.
Layout Foundry Quantities
Quantities reads the shop's product names and handles and keeps the pack details the shop enters, such as the coverage of each pack. It does not read orders or customer details. The pack and roll planner works in the shopper's browser, and room sizes are not sent to Layout Foundry.
Layout Foundry Gang Sheets
When a shopper saves a gang sheet, the print file and a preview are uploaded to storage that Layout Foundry runs for the shop, so the shop can print the order. With each file the app keeps the shop, the order number and, if the shopper is signed in, their Shopify customer number. It does not receive names, email addresses or postal addresses. For these files, the shop decides how they are used, and Layout Foundry handles them on the shop's behalf.
To stop one visitor using up a shop's upload allowance, the app counts uploads for each visitor with a keyed code made from the shop and the visitor's IP address. The address itself is not stored, and each count is deleted within about a day.
How long app data is kept
- Print files and previews are deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
- Weekly database backups are deleted after 14 days.
- When a shop removes an app, Shopify asks the app to delete that shop's data 48 hours later, and the app deletes it.
- A shopper who wants their data copied or deleted can ask the shop. Shopify passes the request to the app, which lists the shopper's files for the shop or deletes them.
Your information rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access to personal information, correction, deletion or restriction, or object to its use. Use the contact details in the “Who is responsible and how to contact Layout Foundry” section below, with enough information to identify the request. Layout Foundry cannot retrieve planner inputs or saved plans because it never receives them.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
One-time email checklist
After a planner result, you may ask Layout Foundry to send one buying and cutting checklist. The request sends only the email address and the planner page it came from. Measurements, part lists and saved plans stay on the device.
Layout Foundry relies on your consent for this optional service. Requesting the confirmation link and then confirming it are separate positive actions. You can stop the request through the link in either email. The emails are service messages only and contain no marketing or tracking.
The temporary record contains the address, the planner route, request and confirmation times, expiry and the copy, privacy and template versions. An unconfirmed request expires after 24 hours. After the checklist is accepted for sending, Layout Foundry deletes the address and raw tokens and keeps only keyed fingerprints and minimal delivery evidence for 7 days. A keyed fingerprint for a stop, hard bounce, complaint or provider suppression is retained only to prevent another message to that address and is reviewed every 24 months.
Resend processes the address and message to deliver both emails and retains sent-email data for 30 days. Its published data-processing addendum and subprocessor list describe its US processing and UK transfer safeguards. Upstash stores the temporary request and keyed evidence under automatic expiry in its serverless Redis service; its published data-processing addendum describes that processing.
